Patient and responsible care-taker!
Pet care experience
My name is Maddy! I am a patient and responsible caretaker. I love animals, and love to care for them. I have a lot of experience with both dog walking and house sitting. I also work at a busy dog daycare center during the week as a dog handler! (So currently I am only available for weekend walks/stays). I am confident that your dog will feel cared for and overall happy with me. Below I have listed more details on my experience, and my walk and stay services. I have experience with: -A variety of breeds, from small to giant (have walked Great Danes, Dobermans, pitties, Saint Bernese etc.) -Senior dogs who require around the clock medication and special care -Blind dogs (guiding and helping them out) -Deaf dogs (finding other ways to command) -Dogs that pull on walks (I have some tricks to control this) -Anxious dogs, dogs who prefer personal space INFO on stays and walks: STAYS -For weekend stays, I will be with your dog for most of / all of the time. -I am very careful with feeding/medication instructions, and will not feed your dog anything outside of their instructed diet. -I can give up to 3 long walks per day! (with unlimited # of bathroom breaks of course). -If you have pet fish, or plants, I am happy to care for them while I am there without added fees. -I send really great pictures! And updates to let you know how your dog is doing. -I’ll leave your home very clean for your arrival home 😌 I leave no trace, besides your dog's smize! *I’ve found meet and greets to be very helpful for getting acquainted! However if you do not have time for one or need to book me last minute, I am happy to make it work without one. Facetime meet and greets have been beneficial for clients in the past as well.* WALKS -I am highly responsible when handling keys/locking doors! -Keeping your dog on a close controlled leash -Staying aware of our surroundings (not on my phone) -Making sure your dog is not eating off the ground -Pacing your dog~ for senior dogs we can take it easy and enjoy the fresh air. If your dog likes a lot of activity, I am happy to tire them out. -I send cute action shots!! And a thorough rover card! I am always grateful for your trust! It brings me so much joy to get to connect with different special dogs around the city, so thanks for considering me as your dog’s caretaker. 😊🐶💕

Madeline was great!
amazing, communicative, and great w senior dogs! cannot recommend more!
Madeline was great! She was right on time, updated me throughout the day and took great care of my pup. She even took our trash out which was completely unnecessary! Would definitely book her again.
Madeline was wonderful! Ziggy was cared for and got updates daily with really cute pics. Everything was neat and clean on my return. Would use Maddie again in a heartbeat
